Well, ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention?

Greetings, you're listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg, a host of the Remnant Podcasts brought to you by the Dispatch and Dispatch Media.

Today, we have a new guest by shockingly popular demand. People keep asking, when are you going to have her on?

So, I am nothing, as anything Quinn says in Lawrence of Arabia, I am nothing if not a river to my people. So, with that, we have Jean Twingy.

I want to make sure I got it right, Twingy, right?

It's Twingy like Twingy guitar.

Twingy, okay. Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University, an author of more than 180 scientific publications and a bunch of books.

Her latest book is Generations, the real differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, the best generation. I put that in there.

Boomers and silence and what they mean for America's future. Professor Twingy, thank you for joining the Remnant.

Thanks for having me.

So, even though it's kind of, you got it all on the title. I'm still going to ask the standard question I always ask, which is, what's your book about?

So, it's about all six living American generations and the real data on how they actually differ from each other as opposed to the myths and stereotypes and rumors.

And at the core of the book is the argument that technological change creates cultural change and thus differences among generations.

That's why it's so different to live now compared to 200 years ago, 100 years ago, or even 20 years ago, is the technology that we live with.

Full confession, I have written many thousands of words about how, really my younger years, about how much I dislike most of the stuff about generations.

And I will stand by this. I think most of the stuff about generations is bad.

But, you're one of the one, and I'm sure because you actually know this stuff, you probably agree with me to some extent.

But, I have to say, you're writing probably more than anybody else's has made me revisit some of my priors and refine my opposition.

Because I agree with you entirely about the technology thing. And I guess my biggest problem with the generational stuff.

I'm a Gen Xer. I came to Washington and fellow Gen Xers of mine tapped into this baby boomer nostalgia for the glories of youth.

And the Gen Xers cynically manipulated it to basically become youth correspondence this and voices of their generation that.

And that kind of stuff really did bother me because I don't think identity politics arguments map very well over chronological age.
